Hurrah for Arkansas
I'll tell you of a stream Where the crystal waters flow;
'Twill heal a man whether he’s sick or well, If he’ll only go.
Hurrah for Arkansas,
Hurrah for Arkansas.
A four horse team will soon be seen In the hills of Arkansas.
They raise tobacco patches down there;
The women all smoke and chaw,
Eat hog and hominy with poke for greens In the hills of Arkansas.
Hurrah for Arkansas,
Hurrah for Arkansas.
A four horse team will soon be seen In the hills of Arkansas.
The men raise hounds down there,
And hunting is all they care.
The woman plow and hoe the corn,
While the men shoot turkey and deer.
